Killing Animals for Food

Animals should have rights too. I do not mean the same rights and morals as a human being, but a right to be free from harm by human beings. Animals just like humans experience emotions and pain. In the wild, they must protect themselves, but when up against human beings, they do not have the power that we do, and often lose their homes or get killed without any other choice for survival. We should treat animals, as we would want to be treated. Animals cannot have the same rights as humans. They cannot enter our society or make moral choices. They do not know right from wrong, as we do. Killing animals for food is something we have practiced for many of years to survive. Many people like this is a part of our survival, just as animals do. There are several areas where there has been a lack of natural predators, to control the animal population, causing safety concerns by hunting. Many hunters feel they can control the ecosystem by hunting. Once hunters obtain a permit, there is no cost, they can hunt for food, or enjoy it as a sport without paying any money. However, humans are just another species of animals and should share the right of freedom. Animals are defenseless and we control them. Even if animals are being hunted or used in slaughter homes, they should be able to live a natural life during their limited lifetime. Animals do not volunteer to tests that can be done using alternative methods. Using an alternative method will also speed up the process, allowing drugs to be approved faster, as well as using fewer animals. Animals should be treated with love and compassion. Many people get pets for their children or maybe it just sounds like a good idea at the time. Animals that people receive for free are more likely to get abandoned because the people thinking they have nothing to lose. When you bring an animal home, you are bringing home a life, a living creature. This is...

The argument people will often make about why eating meat is acceptable is that humans are designed to do it. If you look at the structure of human teeth; there are molars which are great for grinding but there are also canines which are without a doubt meant for tearing through flesh. Because of this, people can justify eating meat. The piece of information that is often not considered is that while we evolved to eat meat, we did not stop evolving at that point. Our mouths still bare the tools for the consumption of flesh, however morality is a newer development that requires further investigation. Eating has moved beyond the basic physical restrictions of the body and now phycological ones must also be considered.

...Killinganimals for food: for & against
The question of killinganimals for food is very difficult because there are a lot of different reasons for people to kill animals and a great number of reasons why we mustn’t do it.
Of course we can’t imagine our life without meat, sausages and other tasteful meals made of meat. But I think it’s really cruel and inhuman to kill animals. We are not gods and it’s not up to us to decide if they must live or should be killed. Who gave us the right to take their lives? They are as alive as we are and they also want to live. We must be more human and think not only about ourselves and how to satiate our jealous stomachs. We are sure that we are supreme and the most intelligent creatures. Then why do we kill those silly animals as they do living their wild lives? This shows that we are also wild and furious and we are not very differ from them.
But if there appears another creature more intelligent and supreme than we are, would you like to be a delicious dinner for it? I think no. So let’s get used not to eat meat and fish and other products made of them. It’s not a great problem now, because we have a wide range of other various meals and products which are not less tasteful or useful.
I eat meat myself and I know that it will take me a long time to stop doing it. But I’ll try. And we all must try,...

...their land, many hunters believe that it is better to hunt
the deer than to let a farmer take a random shot at it, they say that
hunting is a lot more human for the animal and they don’t feel the
pain, they die instantly.
Many businesses in the hunting towns rely hugely on the hunts. Many
of the businesses would be out of business if hunting was to be banned
in the UK. Some of the businesses affected would be:
· Saddlery
· Hotels
· Pubs
Many of the proprietors of these businesses believe in hunting and
believe that it has to be
done to stop the deer eating all the crops and ruining the countryside
by eating everything!
Hunters, as you know use dogs to chase the deer, although the dogs
never actually come into contact with the deer, and the deer are never
ever attacked by the dogs, the dogs are used purely to track the
scent. Hunters feel that if they don’t hunt the deer, then there will
be no deer left because the farmers will take random shots at the
animals, and there will be a lot of injured deer roaming around and
also if there was no hunting the herds would be too big, so hunting
keeps the deer in healthy condition and stops there from being too
many, in turn keeping the herds in very healthy condition.
If there was no hunting, there would be no food left for the red deer
to eat and there would be a lot of unhealthy deer. Hunters say that

...whether the killing of animals can be justified
or not. Many people think that all animals should be protected,
particularly native animals. However, some people feel that the killing of
animals should be allowed when they are over population, when animals
present a danger to humans, and when it is economically beneficial.
The culling of animals can be justified when the population of
certain animals is too large. Dr Graeme Colon, a kangaroo ecologist in
a lecture in the University of Melbourne said that it is a general rule, 100
kangaroos per square kilometers was a sign of trouble, because over
population lead to a widespread land degradation and widespread plant
loss, country will get overgrazed, because of the lack of food caused by
the drought in the area, but now it is 200 kangaroos per square
kilometers. They also compete with other grazing animals, the problem
like this situation will affect the balance of natural environment. So
animals should be culled when they are over population is to large and
have a treat to the natural environment and compete with other animals.
It is reasonable to kill animals when they present a danger to
humans. When some animals attack humans, they should be killed, such...

...Argumentative Essay: KillingAnimals For Food
Name: Jonathan Chin Chee Kong
ID: J13011576
Human beings, animals, and plants are all God’s creations. There’s a reason and purpose for every created being to fulfill. As humans, we require food to provide us with sufficient energy and to keep us healthy. However, some argue that we should not kill animals for food. They say that we humans have no right to be the head of the food chain. Instead, they say that we should only eat vegetables and fruits. On the other hand, it is undeniable that in order for humans to have a complete and balanced nutrition, one would require meat in their daily diet as it provides the required proteins for the body.
Most vegetarians argue that they can get all the required proteins from beans alone. Beans have been known as the protein-rich superfood and are so common and can be found in almost every single country in the world. Although that may be true, one cannot deny that the B12 vitamin can only be found rich in animals. The B12 vitamin is important for the formation and maintenance of healthy red blood cells and nerve cells. Some plant foods that do have the B12 vitamin only contain incredibly tiny amounts of them that are definitely not enough for the body. Hence, it is of much importance for us to eat meat to remain healthy and have a...

...﻿Foods to avoid:
We asked Food Scientists a simple question: “What foods do you avoid? Experts from different areas of specialty explain why they won’t eat these eight foods.
Food scientists are shedding light on items loaded with toxins and chemicals–and simple swaps for a cleaner diet and supersized health. Experts from different areas of specialty explain why they won’t eat these eight foods.
Clean eating means choosing fruits, vegetables, and meats that are raised, grown, and sold with minimal processing. Often they’re organic, and rarely (if ever) should they contain additives. But in some cases, the methods of today’s food producers are neither clean nor sustainable. The result is damage to our health, the environment, or both. So we decided to take a fresh look at food through the eyes of the people who spend their lives uncovering what’s safe–or not–to eat. ” Their answers don’t necessarily make up a “banned foods” list. But reaching for the suggested alternatives might bring you better health–and peace of mind.
